NU Cylindrical Roller Bearings – High Load Capacity & Precision

Premium NU Series Bearings for Radial Load Applications

We offer a huge range of NU cylindrical bearings at BEP Ltd that are robust, accurate and capable of bearing heavy duty loads. NU Bearings Designed to have premium durability for demanding applications and are able to support high radial loads while also allowing axial displacement thus minimising the friction between mechanical parts like gearbox, increasing the functioning time of any application, including- transmissions, industrial machinery.

The NU design features:

  • Outer rings with two integral flanges
  • Inner rings with no flanges, enabling axial shaft movement
  • Capability to carry only radial loads with excellent stability

This makes them perfect for use as floating side bearings in a wide range of engineering applications.

Key Features of NU Bearings

  • High Load-Bearing Capacity – Sliding contact type design with linear roller and raceway to help prevent roller slippage for smooth and stable operation even under high load conditions
  • Axial Movement – accommodates shaft growth and misalignment
  • Long Lasting Service – The raceways are precision machined to minimize friction and wear
  • Easy to Install & Remove – Quick and easy setup and removal mean less downtime
  • Common Uses – Gearbox, electric motor, transmission, etc.

Applications of NU Cylindrical Roller Bearings

  • Gearboxes & speed reducers
  • Transmission systems
  • Industrial machinery
  • Electric motors & generators
  • Pumps & compressors

FAQs – NU Cylindrical Roller Bearings

Q1: What is an NU cylindrical roller bearing used for?

NU bearings are primarily used in gearboxes, motors, and transmissions where heavy radial loads need support and axial shaft movement is required.

Q2: Can NU bearings handle axial loads?

No, NU cylindrical roller bearings are designed only for radial loads. They allow axial shaft displacement but do not carry axial forces.

Q3: What is the difference between NU bearing and NJ bearing?

NU bearings provide unrestricted axial displacement, NJ bearings are able to take some axial load with the aid of the flanges.

Q4: Is it easy for NU type cylindrical roller bearing to install?

Yes, because they come apart, they are easily installed and removed and take up less downtime when performing maintenance.
